Ya i had never read this part, that sucks, i bought a never before used light just the other day from the forum, and your telling me know that guy would have to get permission before posting it? This site is turning corporate and the funny thing is its still small to be doing that. that sux.. just my pennies.

Obviously it should all be in one thread, but limited only to 5 transactions?
gotcha - thanks for the clarification. This forum is a lot better than most when it comes to stuff like this.The only thing that bugs me a little is when someone makes their first post in the classifieds section. Buying a used bike is a big deal and it's much easier buying from someone that is trustworthy.
Well unfortunately this new policy means the axe for me and my "Minor Motorcycle Service" thread. I understand the reasons behind the changes, but I still feel a little screwed because I had decently established myself as a credible and knowledgeable, albeit non-professional, mechanic and now that's all gone. I do think its a little unfair in my case, as my services and qualifications were very clear not only in my thread but also when a client showed up at my garage, but rules aren't always fair i guess...

If not then there should at least be a grandfather clause.
Yea, just to put it out there, I am not upset or pissed. I was just confused. I stand behind what the OCMoto Admins are doing, it makes sense for the most part. Im sure everything will work out for the best in the end.
How about flowers... like CL Adult classifieds! 100 roses for a 1/2 hr200 roses for 1hr.. lolReally though, a community is built around the people. Remove the creative freelance, and you snub-out what makes it so great. How about needing to have a license to dispense advice.... Consider this Mod's...A vendor section were they can post sales/promotions. Then a classifieds area for back door deals. Classifieds are just that, personal postings that offer personal services (not referring to adult services this time). Vendor area can be subject to laws that reach far and above classifieds. Vendor gets out of line and zap-o. Classified post provides a disservice, we post review! Allowing people to choose to go with a shop, or someone who knows their way around the garage.I think breaking this out into two areas would mitigate allot of this confusion.
There again, some "vendors" have regular deals that they post such as used gear or used parts that are separate from shop However since I am referred to as a "shop" then would my personal posts get deleted in this section you mention!?!? Or do ALL of my post have to be in the "VENDOR" section. Remember I have been around this site since it first opened and signed up a year ago (almost) not as a vendor but as myself. Now with that in the mix, How would your proposed "back door" work?
